Barely adequate prototype for some Desth Riders for my undead Horde of Ezra Dinn project. Needs tidying and improving. Purple is a force motif 😝
Parts of the internet say ketchup is good for cleaning brass. I am dubious.
I don't think anyone envisaged the day that the worlds of national shed competitions and nerd wargaming would collide, but here we are! Seriously inspirational on so many fronts, and Otty seems such a lovely guy. Well worth a watch! youtu.be/ZSVpTdYr7bE?...

10mm Samurai with swords, painted for Arrowhead Miniatures as part of a set of various Samurai and Ashigaru from their range. Currently working on some Samurai on horseback, so should have pics tomorrow #Nerdlings #Wargaming #WePaintMinis #MiniaturePainting
Honey can’t believe how many unplayed games I still have.
The entire 3mm range is free on Thingiverse to download so no need to cast it. Over 100 files there. You print what you like. Or of course you use your own 2mm, 3mm, 6mm, 10mm, 15mm or even 28mm figures of choice!
We will be running an inaugural participation game of Chivalry and Honour at Colours in Newbury on 5th September based around a battle to be decided from the Norman Conquest. Please pop by and say hello or join in and roll a few dice with us.

How appropriate for 18th C Germany would these buildings be?

[Thread] Yesterday I posted some pics of my very recently completed SYW project. 630 28mm figures, mostly from Crusader. Long term viewers may remember that I used some Volleyfire LED strips from Warlord Games to make an example musketry volley signifier. Anyway, things have degraded.
